Live albums
[edit]There is only one officially released Oldfield live audio album, Exposed, although others have been released on video: Warner's Sight&Sound edition of The Art in Heaven Concert includes a CD of Oldfield's new millennium live performance in Berlin; and the special edition of Music of the Spheres also contains the only live performance of the piece by Oldfield (Bilbao 2008).
The North America alternate version of Platinum, Airborn, features a live version of Tubular Bells part one and a live/studio version of Incantations on the second LP. Note, they are not the same recordings as Exposed.
Live CDs were also included in the Mercury Records deluxe editions of Oldfield's albums: Platinum (Live at Wembley Arena, May 1980), QE2 (Live from the European Adventure Tour), Five Miles Out (Live in Cologne – 6 December 1982 – Five Miles Out Tour), Crises (Live at Wembley Arena 22 July 1983 Crises Tour).

Soundtrack albums
[edit]The only full film score which Oldfield has written, was for the 1984 film The Killing Fields. Oldfield was commissioned to produce the music for NASA's The Space Movie in 1979; no soundtrack album was released at the time. However a DVD and CD soundtrack (though the CD content is just the audio track from the DVD, including voiceovers and sound effects) were issued in October 2015. He also contributed to the movie soundtrack album on The X-Files, with his rendition of Mark Snow's main theme, entitled "Tubular X".

Orchestral arrangements
[edit]In 1975, David Bedford arranged Oldfield's first two albums, Tubular Bells and Hergest Ridge, for orchestra. These were both performed and recorded, but only The Orchestral Tubular Bells was released to the public as an album. Even though The Orchestral Hergest Ridge was not released, sections were used in the soundtrack to The Space Movie.
